What do you mean by "block your IP address"? Your IP address is required so servers will know where to send their data/webpages.

The only real way to surf "anonymously" is to use an online proxy.

I know you were just kidding, because that would be highly illegal.

They could track the MAC address of the computer too.

I don't know about highly illegal. In some places there is something called "effective consent"
